Poultry Raising From a Farmer's Standpoint. G. C. C ASTON, CRAIGHURST. That a system of mixed farming is the best policy for the Ontario farmer is ad- mitted by all who have given . the subject much thought or• consideration. It will not do to put all our eggs in one basket. The revenue of,the farm must be derived from more than `one source -rather a number of sources ; and as one thing helps another, "good -or o for o c rrather work o ether `and as all t g profit -so the wisdom of such a cause is ap- parent. As one of the very important sources of farm revenue, poultry should always play a prominent part, and there is no doubt that it is profitable' when properly managed. Statistics will show that -we get more money for our eggs in Ontario than we do for our wheat, to say nothing of the poultry sold and exported every year. But many farmers will say there is noth- ing in it, that there is no profit in keeping poultry. Well, no, certainly not, if the are left to takecare of themselves fowls , as is too often the case. But give them proper care and attention, and they will pay as well in proportion to cost as almost any stock on the farm. Hens are no doubt the most profitable of anything inthe poultry line, and we will consider them first. In order to get the most profit from. them ; attention must be paid to details of management, and as egg production is the chief source of profit the question of "breeds" roust be considered. There is, no doubt, much difference of opin- ion as to which are the best layers. Bat in my OW11 experience I have got the best re- sults from a cross between the -Plymouth Rock -and the Single Comb White Leghorn. Get settings of Plymouth Rock eggs and be sure they are from pure stock, and when the pullets are large enough place amour; them a pure-bred White Leghorn cock, hav- ing previously discarded all mongrels from the place, and the pullets raised from this cross will have few equals and no superiors in the production of eggs. The Rocks give the size, hardiness and thriftiness, and the Leghorn imparts the lay- ing qualities to the progeny. The young cockerels and surplus pullets not required for home use can be sold at a profit, as they grow rapidly and make good table fowls, both in size and quality. Hav- ing settled the question of breed, the next - thing to consider is the feed, housing and care of the fowls. They should have a variety of food, but for laying hens perhaps no one article of food excels wheat, and this or some of its products, such, as shorts or middlings, should be fed at least once a day. Oats, corn, barley, buckwheat, sunflower seed, are all good as part of the ration and in the way:of variety. • Milk is a valuable food and greatly stimu- lates egg production. Few people realize the value of milk for poultry, and its bye - products are fed to the pigs. But I would say, save some for the hens -it will pay. I usually feed it in the form of curds. When the skimmed -milk becomes thick, which it will soon do in a warm temperature, place it on the fire for a short time and .it will form a nice tough curd. The acid will be separated -from it and the curd will. be sweet, and the fowls will fairly revel in it. ` Anything in the way of meat scraps or other offal from the kitchen is turned to good accouiit by the laying hen. But there are two very important items in the winter care of hens that are in too many cases over- looked, and without which it is impossible to obtain the best results, and that is, first, to provide.fine gravel or some gritty sub - Stance t<o aid mastication and digestion, and secondk some substance to furnish material for shells. It must be remembered that fowls have no teeth, and that mastication is 'performed in the stomach with the aid of small, gritty, sharp -cornered particles of stone. When roaming at large in summer the fowls will find what they need for this purpose, but -when confined in winter quarters, unless they are supplied with these necessary ma- terials in some form, they are sure to suffer in consequence. I have found nothing bet- . ter for this purpose than broken crockery or earthenware, pounded up into particles about the size of a grain of wheat. If anyone should have fowls that will not lay in winter, if they look duly with pale combs, or if they seem to lack energy, al- though well-fed. I would say try this : Geta flat stone and put it in the poultry house, and with the back of an old axe pound the broken crockery on it to about the size of wheat grains. Do this - about twice a week, and yofl will soon see a change in the health and vigor of the fowls. I have found this better than gravel, though a little more troublesome to furnish. For shell material, carbonate of lime is required, and for this purpose I use pulverized oyster ,shells, and find it fills the bill. Another requisite is a warm poultry ouse, well lighted and ventilated. It should be warm enough that water would scarcely freeze in the coldest weather, and even when there are not many fowls in the house. It should he cleaned out often and not allowed to get foul. Some people clean out their poultry house only once a year, but are careful to clean out their stables every day. Fowls 'should always have access to good water at.all times of the year. In winter it is best -to supply it to them in their house fresh every day. For lice that infest them (particularly in .summer, if not well cared for) I have tried k:. tiIk's•us' sisal y for nearlyeverything, but have found nothing so good as insect powder sprinkled on. the fowls, in the nests -and on the roosts. The only medicine I ever give is a little sulphur in their feed two or three times a year, whenever I think they need it, and I scarcely ever have a sick fowl. Then another very important matter is to keep the flock young. Never keep a hen past the third year, and always have enough pullets coming on to take the place of the old ones. Have the pullets hatched as early in spring as possible. This, along with at - tention to other details I have mentioned ' is the secret of " winter laying," when the best prices can be obtained, and this means, of course, the greatest profit. Next to the hen in point of profit would probably be the turkey. They require Care while young, as they are ; very tender. Many people succeed best by hatching the first lot of eggs under a common hen, and, let the turkey hen set later. Through most' of the summer, after the young hens have attained a fair size, they willnd their own living where insects, and especially grass- hoppers, are plentiful. I saw a flock of Bronze turkeys last fall that' had not been fed anything from early summer till late in the fall, yet they were fine, plump birds and had grown rapidly, and required very little feeding to finish them up for the mar- ket and fit to bring the -top price. When they can be raised in this way and with the same degree of success, there is, no doubt, a profit in them. The chief objection to turkeys is that they are such marauders that it is almost impossible to keep them out of the garden, and they often do consider- able mischief. Geese- and b e i s chiex n ducks, being aquatic birds, will do best where there is a pond on the premises, though they are suc- cessfully raised all over the country with- out ; yet I think they will get a good part of their living out of a pond in summer - ducks especially, and they seem . always to thrive better where they have access to a pond of water. I never could figure any- thing like as much profit in turkeys, geese and clucks as there is in: hens, as I have cleared a dollar a head on a flock of hens in one season (after paying for their feed) from their eggs. However, a Larger price fright be obtained for dressed poultry than is usually paid in our local markets, for as the holiday'season approaches the local markets are usually glutted with stock often of a poor quality, not well developed or well fat- tened, and, as 'a result, prices drop very low, leaving no profit whatever to the pro- ducer. Now, there would be a large and highly profitable. market in New York and other large cities of the Eastern States for Canadian poultry, but there are two condi- tions necessary to its success, and these are free entry and highest . quality. The first can be but a matter of time, the other rests with the producer. If a buyer or shipper could pick up enough in one locality for a car load of the best quality of poultry, well developed and :well-tattened birds, to be shipped alive, there would be money in it for both shipper and producer. The wealthy classes in the large cities are able and will- ing to pay fancy prices for a fancy article, and it is producing articles of the best quality that brings the greatest profit to the producer. .Another important item in connection With poultry is the manure. It is next to guano in fertilizing p°operties, and none of it should be allowed to go to waste, as its value is greater than ten times its bulk of ordinary barnyard manure. In conclusion, ';I would say, don't despise the poultry as a small thing, but give it the care and attention it deserves, and it will pay. • Lightning Digs Post Holes. The man with the gingerbread was watch- ing his neighbor laboriously digging post - holes. " They didn't dig 'em that way out in Colorado where I lived," said he, The neighbor, who was a hired man, drop- ped his patent " digger," looked around to see if his employer was visible, found he was not, and took a seat • on the ground, ready to listen. " How did you work it ?" he asked. " By steam ?" " Steam ?" said the man with the ginger- bread. "Naw. Done it by lightning." "Lightning ?" " Yas. You see, in the part of the state I was in they is -no metals of any kind in the ground, and no trees. I've often watched the lightning cavortin' around in the heav- ens for an hour at a time, jist achin' fer somethin' to strike at, but not bein' able to do so 'cause they wasn't nothin' it could take a start at -no attraction, you see. Well, one day I was a-sweatin' away, just like you would be if the boss was around now, when a old feller. that lived there be- fore I come, come along and said he'd show me a scheme to save all that work. You can bet I was willin', so he sends me to the house fer a bag o' tenpenny nails, and he plants a nail in every place I had marked for a hole. " They is a storm comin',' says he, 'and if I hain't mistaken, she is a-goin'ato do the job in one whirl.' I didn't say noth- ing, fer honest, I thought h.e wuz crazy, an'. flowed I'd better humor him. After he got all the nails planted, he clrarrged me away to a safe distance au' told me to watch her work. Pretty soon the storm came along, with more thunder and lightnin' in it than you will see here in a month o' Sundays. Directly it got over them nails. 'Then-bliff blam ! It went to pluggin' at them there nails stuck in the ground, the most delight - eel lightnin' you ever see to get somethin' to shoot at. And ev'ry time she hit there was the neatest post -hole dug out you ever see. I did haf to trim a few of 'em with a spade,_ but as a general thing they was as neat as a body would want to look at. Natur' is mighty useful if you know how to handle her,." -Indianapolis Journal. swell New York nowadays and there are plenty of families which maintain a score. All this luxury and extravagance has crept in during the past quarter of a century, and with it have come certain cus- toms which would have driven an old time New York housekeeper insane could she be alive to -day to know of their existence. Of course with so many servants a great deal of the buying falls on the shoulders of the household officials, each of whom expects a commission from the dealer who is favored with the family custom. The coachman gets something' every time the horses are shod, or a new harness and carriage purchased and, therefore, it is not to his interest to be care- ful of his master's things. Indeed,it is lucky if he does not form a conspiracy with the blacksmith, harness maker, carriage, dealer and veterinary surgeon to swindle' his em- ployer every day of his life. Then the housekeeper who influences purchases to the amount of one to two hundred dollars a week during the season, must have her per- centage from grocer, baker and butcher, and part of this commission must find its way into the hands of the cook or else the din- ner will be spoiled and the chef will explain with many regrets that it is impossible for him to serve Monsieur properly unless he be allowed to purchase a better quality of meat and vegetables. I€' the employer insists' upon buying a set of harness or a carriage or even a horse himself, something is sere to happen at the critical moment. One of the• traces suddenly breaks, a coach wheel ceases to revolve, or a new horse 'for which a large sum has been paid is found by the coachman to be afflicted with some mys- terious and incurable ailment, and must be disposed of for one quarter its original cost. I know of one family who have not al- ways been wealthy, in fact it is only five or six years since they set up a carriage and engaged the coachman, William, who still adorns their box. •• " William," they say, is a very industrious, steady man and during the short time that he has been in our em- ploy he has saved up more than $10,000." How this trusty servitor could amass such a fortune in such a short time on wages that did not exceed $50 a month was a inystery until it was explained that he was in the habit of making all the purchases required in the stable. It was he, for example, who secured for them that wonderful bargain in the way of a pair of coach horses, whereby for $1,200 they secured a Bair of animals 'that seemed at first to possess remarkable beauty of form, as well as a great degree of strength and vigor. These horses were wont to display great speed and high action on start- ing out for a drive, but very soon they would be seen to settle down to an extremely moderate pace, out of which it was difficult for the coachman to move them. He said that they had contracted some disease since. he bought them, and he confidently advised his mistress to sell them at anyd get a pair that would do credit o price1 anthe family. William's profit on- this pair and on the other which replaced it at a .cost of $1,400, was just about $1,800. But then he was excep- tionally fortunatein having for a mistress a woman who knew nothing at all about horse- flesh and had unbounded faith in him. It was William who purchased the riding horse for one of the young ladies, and very thankful the family all were, too, that she his happened to alight on soft ground the day his knees gave out,while she was riding hint at full speed through Central Park. It was William who bought the harness, the hay, the straw and the oats, and unless they " drop " to his methods he will be setting up a carriage of his own in a very few years.- Kans. Rich Men's Servants Who Look Out for Nun-iber One. NEW YORK, Noveniber 17.-1 have just been over a house which was built about - forty _years ago by one of the substantial New York merchants of that period as a home for himself and family. It has leng since,passed out of his hands and is now used as a ma,nufactory and salesroom by a firm of cloak makers. It would be hard to find the equal of these splendid drawing rooms anywhere above Twenty -Third Street to -day. With their lofty ceilings, solid ma- hogany doors and fire places of veiaed black marble dif a kind that is absolutely un- purchasable_now, they suggested forcibly the solid comfort and good cheer of the period which antedated the ciVil war. On the up- per . floors were large, comfortable rooms, fitted with open fire places, and. on the attic floor were the two small apartmerbts which had. in those primitive clays proved large enough to contain the domestics employed in thelamily, The cellar was dry and fitted with large bins for the storage of wines and other good. things, and there was no dumb waiter between the kitchen and parlor floor, showing that the old merchant and his family had been in the habit of dining in the basement, as- nearly everybbody did at that Nowadays a wealthy man with a . family possessing social ambitions never thinks of dining in his basement, nor would two little rooms lighted from the roof suffice for his corps of 'domestics. He must have a butler and a Second. man, perhaps a white capped chef tia the kitchen and one or two. scullery maidS and dishwashers to help him. And then there is the housekeeper, the par- lor maid and laundress and a maid apiece for - his Wife and daughter. He himself has a valet and there is a coachman and groom to look after the horses and carriages kept in the private stables noar Central park.

The following is the quaintest method of making a proposal which has ever come to a contemporary's knowledge. A gentleman had been long paying attention to a 'young lady whom he was very anxious to marry; but could not screw hiS courage to the stick- ing -point. At last he resolved to take the first opportunity which presented itself of asking the momentous question. No sooner however had he formed this resolution than fortune seeined to desert him. He often met the fair one, but never could get the chance 'of speaking to her alone. Driven to desper- ation, he one day succeeded in accomplish- -:ing his purpose at a dinner -party. Now it is very easy to hold converse with the person who sits next to you at a large dinner party, provided you do not look at that person, speak in an even tone, and abstain from mentioning names ; but in this case the lady was on the opposite side of the table. He was however equal to the occasion, and tearing out a leaf from his pocket book, wrote on it, under cover of the table, " Will you be my wife ?" Write ' Yesor 'No' at the foot of this.". Calling a servant, he whispered to him to take the note -which of course was folded:: -to " the lady in blue opposite." The servant did as he was di- rected ; and the gentleman, in an agony of- suspense, fsuspense, watched him 4ive it to the lady, and fixed his eyes with badly disguised eagerness, to try to judge from her expres- sion how the quaintly -made offer was re- ceived. He had forgotten one thing - namely, that ladies seldom carry pencils about them at adinner-party. His love was however not to be baffled by so trifling an obstacle ; and, after reading the note calmly, the lady turned to the messenger and said, " Tell thegentleman,'Yes.' " They were ma ied in due course. • all Social Duties. A dist' ct mark of good breeding which young giris.;are apt to treat rather lightly is what we may call the small social obligation. Every girl who has been well brought up will of course perforin her important duties, be they social or otherwise. She will call to see her friend who has been in trouble. She could not fail to answer promptly in writing any written invitation, or to return a first visit in due time, whether the ac- quaintance offered her be .acceptable or not, but there are a thousand and one slight occasions constantly arising which one, un- less she is quite punctilious in such matters, as she should be, is apt to fail to recognize as obligations. 'There is no courtesy that may with good taste be either accepted or declined without 'polite acknowledgment. The receipt through the mails of a . newspaper addressed by a friend, and containing a marked paragraph .of interest to either or both, should be an- swered promptly by note, unless, for in- stance, the recipient should happen to have another paper or magazine holding • some further notice of the same subject. In that case the sending of this, with article mark- ed, should be a, grateful and sufficient acknowledgment; of the first. Ordinary notes of regret sent in answer to formal invitations need, of course, no reply, being themselves final answers. But when a friend declines an invitation, assign- ing as a reason for so doing that her little brother has fallen and broken his collar bone or that she herself has met with an accidei'it, an early note expressing regret and interest -or a visit, if the degree of intimacy re- quires it -is absolutely 'obligatory. -Har - per's Young People. • Perth Items. - Mr. James Sellars, of Mitchell, had new rheubarb stalks fifteen inches long last week. -The pipe organ in Trafalgar street church, Mitchell, has been sold to the Pal- merston a merston Methodist congregation le tion for $400. � g -Mr. and Mrs..

Maim makes a business of going through the country mending watches, clocks and jewelry, and in the course of his tour through Blanshard township he '', called at the home of Mr. Bryan, where he met the plaintiff's daughter, aged eighteen years. On Saturday, 3rd inst., the twain eloped, and it was thought they had gone to Port Huron. It turned out, however, that they went in a different direction, and were mar- ried in Mitchell the same day by Rev. A. F. Tully, Presbyterian minister. Since then Mann and his wife have been living iii Dub- lin. Mann was arrested. in Dublin 'on the following Thursday, ` by Constable Mc- Carthy, and was brought before Police Magistrate;OtLoane, in the evening. Mann refused to plead until he had consulted counsel, and he was remanded until Wed- nesday. His alleged second wife appeared in court with him. Mann is charged with having a wife in Toronto. • The Modern Way.
